A new round of meetings between the EU and the UK begins | Gift

Gibraltar

Gibraltar and its future relationship with the European Union are making headlines again. This Monday a new round of meetings – which will last until Tuesday – begins in London between the negotiating teams of the European Commission and the United Kingdom.

On the table, try to advance in the agreement that all the parties are pursuing on the basis of a proposal made by Brussels – and supported by Spain – which continues to be blocked by several key points, including the military use of the Port and the Peñón airport and above all the external border control system which is so annoying on the British side because they would be carried out by Frontex agents belonging to our country.

After last Friday’s meeting between the Spanish foreign minister and the mayors of Campo de Gibraltar, the sensations “are contradictory”, according to the president of the cross-border group, George Dike of Gibraltar.

On the other hand, as Cadena SER has learned, in this context, next Thursday the ambassador of the United Kingdom in Spain, Hugh Elliot, will visit La Línea de la Concepción to meet the mayor of the city, Juan Franco.
